In 2012, the entire media landscape was abuzz about one man: basketball sensation Jeremy Lin. Lin scored more points in his first five NBA starts than any other player in the modern era: in less than a month, Linsanity was born. In the first documentary in over a decade to open the festival, filmmaker Leong and his crew give you courtside seats to Lin’s sudden rise, capturing the energy and hysteria that swept up this Palo Alto baller—and the world—along the way.
